Maybe.. I paid $ 159 for a Lumatron. It sometimes freezes. Very sensitive to
cheap media. (Writes erroneously to half of my cheap media, rending these
unusable including waste of time). Manual terrible and faulty.
Also, the S-video input is so designed that an S-video plug will not enter
!!
Anyway, it is maybe a sign of the modern times. You can sell anything... If
it doesn't work, then again it was cheap..
But I am old fashioned. I expect a device to function. No matter the price.
